@ther objects and advsnieges to loe de rived from the use of my improved coinl and pen holder will appear from thev following detailed description and. she claims,

taken with en inspection of the eccompany-- l in drawing, 1n which:

igure 1 1s e perspective view of a coin and pencil holder embodying the improvements of my invention; and

Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view of the saine on liner2-2 of l with the'pen and pencil removed.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, wherein similar characters of reference designate like and corresponding paris throughout the various views, A designates in its entirety the container for the holding device, said container having n bottoni l and side `and end walls 2 and 3, respectively. The receptacle A. is provided with alid 4 hingedly connected at 5 to one of the side Wells 2. A spring catch 6 is carried by the' lid for an obvious purposes.

A. clamp for eilsnehing the receptacle AV iov en object is provided composedy ofthe sections c and c', said Vsections being U-- shaped in cron section and arranged 1n.tel.

escopic relacion. rl`he section c is formed with anges 'i' and 8 io receive the spaced portion 9 of the section o'. The bottom 1 of the recepzecle A is connected with the section c by ineens of rivets 10 or `the like.

The pencil end coin reteining elerneniI of my invention is preferably formed of asin gie strand o Wire provided 'with :i coiledy portion 1l arranged transverse of the receptecla A, the free endl l2 of the coil lllying upon the hotiom o vile container and coiled as at 13 to rovide coin holders. The convolutions o ihe'pencil holding coil l1 orel prefer'ehly rectengular in cross section so as to more irnily retain the objects inserted hereinto.
